Kitchen sink smells can have one of two causes:
Rotting food stuck in the drain or garbage disposal, or. Sewer gas is leaking in through the plumbing vent or drain trap.
Regarding this, how do you get rid of smelly drains?
Follow these simple steps:
- Pour a 1/2 cup baking soda down the drain.
- Pour a 1/2 cup lemon juice down the drain as well.
- Plug the drain and let the solution work for one hour.
- Finish by running the hot tap water down the drain.
Just so, why does my sink drain smell like rotten eggs? A smelly sink is usually caused by bacteria build up from grease, fat and food which have been flushed down the drain. These will then get stuck in the pipes causing the familiar rotten egg smell.
In respect to this, can I pour bleach down the sink?
Pour bleach into them
Bleach is a powerful, toxic substance that should be used carefully and properly, and pouring it down a drain is not a proper use. Bleach can react with other substances in your pipes, potentially release fumes, and further plug up the system.
